Married At First Sight Chapter 3956-3960 
Chapter 3956 
     
“Liberty,” Hank called out to his ex-wife, handing her Sonny’s small suitcase. 
“Everything Sonny brought is in here, including his toys. He left some at home since he couldn’t carry them all. He said he’d play with those next time he visits. We also bought him a few new clothes, but they didn’t fit in the suitcase, so we packed them in this bag.” 
Hank took the other bags from his parents and passed them to Liberty. Along with Sonny’s new clothes and toys, the Browns had also prepared some small New Year’s gifts for Liberty. 
“My parents put together some food for you,” Hank added. “It’s nothing fancy, just a little gesture of goodwill. We may not be husband and wife anymore, but we’re still Sonny’s parents. We can treat each other as friends—or family—for his sake.” 
Liberty glanced at the items. They were simple and inexpensive, but she accepted them graciously. “Thank you,” she said to Hank and the Browns. 
Mrs. Brown stepped forward with two large red envelopes and handed them to Liberty. 
“This is Sonny’s New Year’s money from his grandparents,” she said warmly. “Sonny asked if he could accept it, so please take it on his behalf. It’s not much, but it’s what we could manage. Sonny doesn’t mind.” 
After a brief pause, Mrs. Brown added, “This year, we gave Sonny more New Year’s money than we gave Chelsea’s kids.” 
In the past, Mrs. Brown had blatantly favored her other grandchildren, giving Chelsea’s three children larger red envelopes while Sonny received a fraction of that amount. She had assumed the money would end up with Liberty anyway, so she saw little point in being generous. 
But now, things had changed. 
Liberty accepted the envelopes and said, “Thank you. This is more than enough. I know your pension isn’t much, and you don’t need to go out of your way to give Sonny a big red envelope.” 
In Wiltspoon, most New Year’s envelopes only contained $10 or $20, so receiving more than that was considered a nice bonus. 
Mrs. Brown shook her head. “Please, just take it. We’ve realized how wrong we were in the past. We didn’t treat Sonny fairly, and now we want to make it right. Our expenses aren’t high anymore, and we’ve stopped supporting Chelsea financially. With just the two of us, we can save one of our pensions each month. We’re doing fine.” She gently pushed the envelopes into Liberty’s hands. 
“Liberty, we made so many mistakes before. We know that now. But we’re still Sonny’s grandparents, and we’d like to ask for a favor. Could Sonny come stay with us for a couple of days each month? We’re getting older, and we just want to spend time with our grandson. Don’t worry—we won’t let Chelsea use Sonny as an excuse to ask for money or favors anymore. We’ve spoken to her about that.” 
Liberty nodded, her expression calm but understanding. “Auntie, I’ve told you before— you’re always welcome to see Sonny. If he’s willing to spend a couple of days with you each month, I’ll bring him over. And if I can’t, Seren will make sure he gets here.” 
She paused, her tone softening. “I want Sonny to have that choice. If he’s happy to come, I’ll encourage him. But if he doesn’t want to, I won’t force him. What matters most is that he’s happy.” 
Mrs. Brown looked over at Sonny, who was laughing and playing with Duncan. The bond between Sonny and Duncan was undeniable, far stronger than the boy’s connection to Hank. She sighed quietly, glancing at her son. 
“Alright,” Mrs. Brown said with a small smile. “As long as Sonny wants to come, we’d love to have him. Even just a couple of days a month would mean so much to us. We’d love to spend that time building our relationship with him.” 
Her voice carried a note of longing as she added, “We just want to be a part of his life.”
